After I blogged a funny story about my father, Irving Lecin (z”l) being called for jury duty (twice) after he passed away, the N&R asked for a phone ‘interview’ to discuss it and it wound up on page 1 (it got one of those BIG online links, too, see image below). If you think that’s a little bit much, it was also picked up by the Charlotte Observor [ht jw]. This has got to be the slowest news day I can remember.
OK, this has to be some automated feed thing:
Well, darn! I didn’t know my father wrote a letter to the NY Times in 1990. This Google thing is great!
Looks like it was an AP release which is why it was a pretty fast move everywhere.
AP? Jeez, we’re famous! Or it’s just RSS doing its thang…
(honestly, if this is my 15 minutes, it’s a rip-off)
Yeah. If you look at where WXII and News & Observor got it, it has the sig of AP with copyright of AP. I could be wrong, but I thought things labeled with that was AP printed.
When I woke up, one of my users posted it on Greensboring too… I said “I thought that was you”…. (I mean how many Sue Polinskys are there?)

I think that only one “Sue Polinsky” is enough. But I do our family site and learn that there are bunches of Polinskys all over the world. Depending on the spelling, we’re probably all from the same shtetl.
